Chapter 2516 Principal Tian and Doctor Hou

Although Dan people are now allowed to live ashore, they basically belong to the extremely poor class and cannot build decent houses. Therefore, they mostly choose to live in wooden sheds on the "Hai Pi", a tidal flat near Wei Town.In order to solve this problem, the Senate specially passed relevant legal documents to allocate these "state-owned land" to each newly-built Danjia village in the name of "village collective land".Clarify the four-way boundary and land area of ​​each village.This is also to prevent the phenomenon of contention for land in the future.

The wooden sheds of Dan people basically use bamboo as the frame, bamboo fence and reed mat as the wall, thatch as the roof, the floor and bed are all made of bamboo strips, and the four sides are ventilated and light leaked.The small ones can only accommodate people, and the big ones can only accommodate two beds. They are all stilt-style stilts.

Kuang Lu's master and servant followed Zeng Salmon into the village. Looking along the way, these "houses" were not as good as the pigsty in his hometown manor.But for the Danhus, owning their own home is a source of great pride.

A lot of fake hair came to the village today, it was very lively.The people called "Principal Tian" and "Doctor Hou" are a man and a woman, both appearing to be in their twenties, and they are preaching policies to the villagers.There were a dozen or so fake hairs that came together, some of them looked like craftsmen, some of them looked like doctors, as for the other fake hairs, Kuang Lu couldn't see why for a while.But they all wore the same color of blue cloth short jackets and carried satchels.

The person called Principal Tian is actually a young man, with a strong voice and a strong figure, not like a scholar but like a martial artist, even his expression is a bit dull.

Such a person is also a "principal"?Kuang Lu was not surprised.

"Folks, the chief has built new national schools in Guangzhou and Dali, and has given our village five places to study at public expense. In the past two years, we have been sending literacy teams to various villages to eliminate illiteracy, and the children in the village have recognized many of them. Words, the rule of the Senate is that everyone who enters must take an exam, so we have to organize an exam in the village, and the children with the best exam scores can get places in the National Model School for Boys, and the next four can go to Dali National Primary School... ..."

"Principal Tian, ​​what do you mean by public-funded study places?" someone from the villagers asked.

"Public funding means tuition reduction and exemption for studying, and scholarships for outstanding grades." Principal Tian explained.

Another villager asked, "What about the money for food and clothing?"

"This... the scholarships given by the chiefs are very good. As long as the grades are good, it's not a problem." Principal Tian knows that the villagers are very poor, and children are half of the labor force for them. If one of them is asked to raise a full-time child Reading is really difficult.

"What if the grades are not good?"

"It's okay... Apply for a student loan, interest-free." Principal Tian said not so simply.

Although "loan" is a new word, everyone knows it means debt.Although this is a "government debt" free of interest, it is still a debt.

The villagers began to whisper after hearing this, and it seemed that everyone's desire to send their children to school was not so strong.This "Principal Tian" kept mobilizing, talking about the benefits of studying, but it didn't work.

On the other hand, although Dr. Hou is a woman, she is leading two craftsmen to look at the blueprints in her hands. On the one hand, she instructs the villagers to dig pits, on the other hand, she instructs the villagers to move the firebricks from the boat, and on the other hand, she instructs the fellow doctor to give the villagers They see a doctor, and they are heroines.

"What is this for?" Kuang Lu asked Zeng Salmon, interested in the hole that Jia Kun was digging.

"A few days ago, the parents of the county issued an announcement saying that public toilets will be repaired in our new fishing villages. Hey, the chief can do everything, that is, the upper management is in charge of the sky, the lower management is in charge of the land, and the middle is still in charge... Anyway, shit You have to take care of your urine." Zeng Salmon replied.He didn't quite understand either. He used to defecate and urinate anywhere, directly into the river.

Kuang Lu thought for a while, and immediately understood the thief's intentions.It is true that feces and urine are filthy and smelly, but it does not mean that they are garbage that can be discarded at will.On the contrary, there have always been many big and small dung tyrants in Guangzhou City who controlled the dung roads, and there were rentiers in every link from collection to sales, but I heard that most of these big and small dung bullies have now been blacked out by thieves.This benefit also belongs to the Kun thief.

It can be seen that the location of the toilet is not arranged randomly, but is chosen on a higher ground to prevent it from being flooded when the water rises, apparently to avoid loss of fertilizer.The Kun thief claims to build a country with industry and commerce, and they can't get rid of the word "profit" in everything.

What puzzled him was that only a pit needs to be dug for dry toilets, and there is no need for such a large battle with fake guns. It seems that the pit was dug for a long time, and so many fire bricks were transported. The cost of this pit is not ordinary. .Kuang Lu simply stayed to see what kind of medicine was sold in Kun Thief's gourd.

Dr. Hou was telling something to a young man. Her thin and small figure looked a little weak compared with the strong physique of the man, but the young man bowed his head and listened very respectfully. This scene shocked Kuang Lu greatly.According to Zeng Salmon, the young man's name was He Lizhi, who was also from Danhu. Later, he learned some medical skills from the mobile medical team of the Senate and became a barefoot doctor.It was he who elected He Lizhi as the village head, and the villagers had no objections.

Under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, Danhu in the Pearl River was under the jurisdiction of Hebo. After landing, a new village management model was established according to the requirements of the Senate.The people living in Danjia New Village are all retail households, unlike the people on the shore who have a clan system.Most of the people on the shore have a single surname in a village, at most two or three surnames, and the eldest son and clan elder decide everything.In this day and age, knowing a craft that everyone needs can easily become an authority.

"This three-compartment egg-sinking toilet is mainly used to trap parasite eggs in feces. You have learned some medical skills in the mobile medical team. Do you remember how feces can infect parasites?" Dr. Hou asked He Lizhi.

"Remember, remember," He Lizhi replied, "Parasites are bugs that hide in the human body. They can absorb nutrients from people and make people sick. Some bugs hide in the intestines and lay many small eggs. , The eggs laid are excreted along with the stool, and if other people come into contact with these feces, they may eat the eggs, and pass it on to ten, ten to hundreds."

Doctor Hou nodded his head to express his satisfaction. For the basically illiterate Danmin, it is good enough to be able to remember everything. So she was not in a hurry to correct his mistakes. When she first studied medicine, she could Tian Tian was scolded bloody by Dean Shi.

"According to the research of the medical team, residents on the water are generally infected with one or more parasites, and their health is not good, so you must manage your feces well. These eggs will not only affect your health, but also spread to downstream areas along with the water flow There is also an endemic disease called schistosomiasis in Sanshui and Sihui areas. There are no snails in Shunde, but a small number of cases were found in Shunde during the investigation by the medical team. It was probably brought from upstream to downstream when the river was rising. "Doctor Hou explained.

"Little understands."

"After the precipitation in the first two compartments, the manure in the third pool basically has no eggs and can be used directly for farming. The dung skin and dung residue in the first two pools must be composted and decomposed to completely kill the eggs. Our farmers The technician will teach you how to compost, and as the village head, you must fulfill your management responsibilities.”

He Lizhi patted his chest, "Don't worry, chief, anyone who dares to urinate indiscriminately will immediately confiscate the tools used to commit the crime!"

Doctor Hou couldn't hold back, and burst into a "poof" laugh.

……

While talking, Principal Tian walked over dejectedly.

"Ah Liang, how is the enrollment situation of the school?" Hou Qing asked.

"Hey, don't mention it, it's harder than fighting..." Tian Liang patted his head, looking like he was having a headache, "The exam rankings are out, and only two of the top five are willing to go. The others said they don't want to go. I They added up the next ones, but no one was willing to go. You said such a good opportunity, why didn’t they want it? On the contrary, those who have money are scrambling to send their children to school!”

Hou Qing knew that in the spring enrollment this time, the chief had restricted the number of students from different backgrounds, originally hoping to recruit more children from poor families.As for public-funded students, there are strict restrictions on the background, and no matter how good the grades are above the middle class, they cannot get it.Must be poor children.

However, judging from the enrollment situation, although most of the big gentry have private schools of ethnic studies, and they don't really look down on this "Australian school", but they have many children, and they have the right to send some children from side branches to sign up, and they have the right to show their favor to the Senate .Middle-class households are the most active.On the contrary, the poor have the least willingness to study.No one cares about even the public-funded students.

On the one hand, the parents of the middle-class family asked everywhere to do everything possible to send their children to school, and on the other hand, they mobilized in every possible way, but no one responded.Although Tian Liang is not good at words, the benefits of studying are obvious. Even if he barely got a second-level diploma like he did in the past, he can still recruit workers and join the army.

"Raising a child who doesn't work is not a small cost." Hou Qing said, "You should mobilize as much as possible. If it doesn't work, we will ask the merchants in Dali Town if they are willing to sponsor living expenses."

"This matter is very close." Tian Liang shook his head, "You want merchants to sponsor Danmin's children to study, and they think it's unlucky!"

Hou Qing knew that this kind of prejudice could not be reversed with a single document from the Senate, and there was nothing he could do in a hurry right now.She asked again, "How about today's exam results?"

"Sister-in-law Zhou's family has a flexible brain and is the best in the exam," Tian Liang said with a sad face, "It's just... her husband just died, and she is a woman with four children. The family is really difficult."

Knowing that his enrollment was not going well, Hou Qing also sighed and shook his head.

"Chief Tian, ​​your school only accepts children, otherwise I will sign up." He Lizhi joked.

"You should study with the literacy team and the medical team, do a good job as the village head, and try to enter the farmer workshop for further study." Principal Tian said angrily because of the enrollment.
